Give reasons why an earthquake occurs?​

Answer 1

Hi there! ☃️

$\:\huge\mathsf{Your\: Answer}$

An earthquake occurs when the tension in the normal movements within the earth’s crust increases leading to formation of massive waves creating trembling on the earth’s surface.

Here are some more points if you have to understand it clearly :-

• Underground rocks can break along the fault lines created by movements of such waves which is expressed by an earthquake on the surface.
• High energy is released at the place where the tension mounts up creating the center of the earthquake or the focus.

Hope this helps you!
